January Goals: Post #1

It is already the 15th of January! About time I got started on my personal challenge to use 10 of my sets.

I was able to use three of the sets I chose on these two cards. I used Boards and Beams, Signature Christmas, and Holiday Button Bits. I love the snowman on the snowy slopes.

Off to see if I can work on my challenge some more.

PaperTrey Princess Challenge #4 & 7 Card Challenge #2

Some times you just have to multi-task! I realized I still had not completed Princess Challenge # 4, which was to Score It. Not sure if you can see the score lines on here, but they are present and accounted for! The top score lines have black embroidery floss going between them and the bottom scores have some teeny-tiny buttons between them. Thanks Pam for a great challenge!

I also need to keep working on my 7 card challenge to ink-up some unused stamp sets. This card uses Enjoy the Ride by PTI. It was fun masking and detailing the car with black stripes. I also used SU! Glaze on the headlights. I had some requests for masculine cards in the bookstore so I couldn't do too much embellishment!

March 2010 PTI Blog Hop

I love it when the Blog Hop happens over a break from school! It has been wonderful to participate and have a few minutes to think about what I am doing, lol. The challenge this month was BUTTONS! Oh, running my fingers through buttons is truly a favorite pastime.

Here is my card with PTI white and Hawaiian Shores CS. The circle embossing was done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The PTI buttons nestled right into the openings of the larger open circles. The PTI Rickrack Die makes a great divider setting off the scored lines at the bottom of the card. The dragonfly is from Wishing You and the butterfly is from Butterfly Dreams.

Happy Spring and Happy Hopping.

I'm Back!

Wow! What a summer! I couldn't wait for school to be out so I could have some free time. Well, I think I've been even busier. lol!

I had a request for 2 cards for the girls from church that are heading off to college this week. I wanted to use my new Everyday Button Bits stamps from PTI and these seemed that they would work fabulously. I am so pleased with the way these turned out. I do need to order MORE PTI buttons though. The first card is made from the buttons in my stash and the second card is using the wonderful PTI butons. What a FUN assortment.

Enjoy!
